Wanted to hike the snow while it was on My Wilson.  Took Upper Winter Creek to the top.    Sturtevant Trail down.  Nice crisp day especially above the snow line. Creeks following well on the way down.  Cold weather kept the bugs away!

  1. Hey! I’ve been looking forward to someone posting a recent hike on Wilson. Did you hike today? By intermittent, not hard to cross, did you mean you needed crampons/snowshoes? All the recent rain is making planning these hikes a bit tougher! Ha

    Hope you’re feeling refreshed from the mountain ari!

  2. I had micro spikes but didn’t use them. I should have on the way down as things were icy in the shaded areas for about a 1.5 mile. The wind chill made it cold at the top. Definitely worth it though, dont see these conditions too often at this elevation!

  3. Awesome! Thanks for the tip. I probably would have left them at home if I hadn’t have asked. I’m going to do the reverse route you did so I’ll definitely take them for my trip up. Cheers!
